    The War of 1812 is of great historical and cultural significance to Canada. The war of 1812 was declared on the 18th of June, 1812, by James Madison, who was at that time the President of the United States of America. He declared war on Britain, and unfortunately that included Canada. There were many reasons that declared the war of 1812.There were conflicts between the United States and Britain that began in 1812 and lasted until early 1815. President James Madison requested a declaration of war to protect American ships on the high seas and to stop the British from impressing or seizing U.S. sailors. U.S. ships were being stopped and searched by both Great Britain and France, who were fighting each other in Europe. President Madison also wanted to prevent Britain from forming alliances with Native Americans on the American frontier. His decision was influenced by Americans in the West and South, who hoped to expand the United States by seizing control of both Canada and Florida. Critics called the War of 1812 "Mr. Madison's War," but others saw it as a "second war of independence," an opportunity for Americans to defend their freedom and honor in the face of European disrespect. Neither Britain nor the United States was particularly well prepared to fight this war, and the conflict eventually ended in a stalemate. Soon after the war began, American leaders began to worry about the exposed Western fort of Detroit, a strategic settlement in the Michigan Territory. The U.S. hastily dispatched Brigadier General William Hull with reinforcements to the fort. In July General Hull decided to cross the Detroit River into Upper Canada. Hull's men, many of whom came from the Ohio militia, were poorly equipped, and, except for one small regiment, proved insubordinate and unreliable.…

    Even though Americans won the occasional victory at sea, they could not effectively defend all of their seaports at the same time. With the end of the Napoleonic Wars in 1814, the time was right for the British to retaliate against the Americans actions in Canada. The British were finally able to give their full attention to the war against the United States.…

    Revolutionary War and War of 1812 were fought between the United States and Great tBritain. The cause of the Revolutionary War was due to unfair taxation of the colonies by the British Parliament, and without the help from the French, the United States would not have won this war. The causes of the War of 1812 were due to the French involvement with Great Britain, which lead to trade embargoes in Europe. Also, impressment of U.S. seamen for the British army, freedom of the seas, British stirring up Indian trouble in the northwest of the U.S. were major factors as well. Although, both wars ultimately lead to victories for the United States.…

    The War of 1812 was fought between the new and fragile United States against the British Empire, Canadian Provinces and a few Woodland Indian Tribes. The War of 1812 was an attempt by the Americans to establish their dominance in North America by conquest of the British owned Canadian Provinces. With an under supplied and undermanned army and navy the United States managed to scrape up a stalemate with the British. The British, with the defeat of Napoleon, turn back toward the Old World to establish their presence as the greatest empire in Europe. The Treaty of Ghent was signed by both, the British and United States, to agree upon an armistice and return all rightful land and prisoners back to their respective country. The War of 1812 had major effects in the aftermath of the war both domestically and in foreign affairs. The United States, coming off a decent result on land and even more importantly on the seas against the British Empire, gained more respect in the community of European nations. Inside its borders, America had the greatest nationalistic movement it has seen since the forming of the Union. Nationalism boosted the economy, the arts, and transportation. "The American System" was formed and an anthem was created that Americans can sing to show their patriotism.…

    The War of 1812 was a war that was fought between the military of The United States of America and those of the British Empire. The Americans were the first to declare the war against the British Empire. There were several reasons for the War of 1812, for instance, trade restrictions because of the ongoing war between Britain and the French, imprisonment of American merchant sailors into the Royal Navy, British support of American Indians tribes against American expansion, and over national honor after humiliation on the high seas. As Risjord noted, “an unstated but powerful motivation for the Americans was the desire to uphold national honor in the face of what they considered to be British insults.”…

    The War of 1812 lasted from June 18, 1812 to February 18, 1815. The war took place in Atlantic, Central and Eastern North America and Pacific. There were many causes. On the foreign side, France and England had been attacking American merchant ships, forcing impressment. Impressment is forced recruitment into Britain's Royal Navy. It is much like kidnapping or enslavement. For many years, Washington stayed out of the French Revolution. In 1793 they drafted the Neutrality Proclamation of 1793. Through Washington and Adams’ presidencies, war was avoided. There were several events that caused the war; impressment, embargoes, the War Hawks of the south and west being convinced the Brits were arming and helping the Indians. Henry Clay and other young congressman used the Native American issue to really scare people and make a big push for the war they wanted.…

    The fact that the American foreign policy of neutral rights was violated is not the underlying principal as to why the War of 1812 had commenced. Several other incidents also contributed to the war, far more important than impressment. A major cause that found support among the settlers of the West is the fact that the British were supplying and aiding the Indians on the frontier. This cause was found to be true especially after the battle of Tippecanoe (1811). At this battle, the Indians lost and left their supplies behind them as they ran. The supplies were of British origin and caused uproar in the West.…

    Although the American’s had been “independent” from the British since the end of the Revolutionary War, the British continued to harass and mettle in American affairs. While Madison was seeking reelection the War Hawks in Congress had declared war on Britain in June 18. On paper the rag-tag American was seen as incapable of defeating the superior British forces for a second time. However this war would have an unexpected results as neither side would be the “victory”. Even the United States wasn’t able to gain any new territory to their growing collection and the borders were returned to the way they had been (status quo antebellum), Americans were able to declare victory in the War of 1812 because they were able to enter a period of economic independence from the world (Europe) which carried on to the Era of Good Feeling as well as hold its own against what was concerned the strongest fighting force in the world at the time.…
